- SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 494,487, dated march 28, 1893. 7

Application filed October a, data.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, FRANK ORTH, of Astoria, in the county of Clatsop and Sjateot Oregon, have invented a new and Improved Apparatus for Preventing Nocturnal Emissions, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to improvements in apparatus for preventing nocturnal emissions, and the object of my invention is to produce a simple apparatus which may be easily applied and worn, and which is automatically operated by an erection so as to cause. the parts affected to be embraced by a chilling envelope which causes the erection to subside without a discharge.

To this end, my invention consist in certain features of construction and combinations of parts, which will be hereinafter described and claimed.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forminga part of this specification, in which similar numerals of reference-indicute corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a broken side elevation, with parts in section, of the apparatus. Fig. 2 is a detail vertical section view of the mechanism for controlling the water supply to the chilling envelope or sack; and Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the lever plate and the lovers which control the supply pipe, parts being removed to clearly show the levers.

A belt 10 is used to fasten around the waist of the patient, andis provided with a suitable ad usting buckle 11. The belt extends through a keeper '12 on the upper end of a plate 13, which plate is adapted to lie upon the belly and has, near its lower end, a hole 14., in which the penis of the patient is inserted. The front side of the plate 13 is recessed, as shown at 15, and extending longitudinaliyot the recess are lovers 16,the lowcronfree ends of which diverge slightly and these lower ends are held to swing laterally behind a keeper bar 17 which extends across the recess andis secured to the plate. The lower ends of. the lovers are arranged opposite the hole 14 and are adapted to clasp loosely the penis which extends through the hole. The lovers 16 are pivoted near their upper ends, as shown at 18, to a crossbar 18 and to the plate 13, and the upper ends of the lovers diverge above the Serial a. 448,236. on model.)

pivot; as shown at 19 in Fig. 3, the diverging end portions 19 carry inwardly extending jaws 21, one of which has a screw shank 22 by which the distance between the jaws may be adjusted. These jaws act as a pinch cook and impinge upon a flexible tube V 23 leading to a cold water supply and the tube is incased in a'spiral coil 2t, of wire, which stidens the tube and prevents it from being accidentally closed by the niove'mentofthe patient or the weight of the bed clothes. The upper end of the tube connects by means of a coupling 25, which permitsthe tube to turn, with a faucet 'or tap 26 of a tank 27 which may be of any form desired and when in use is supported upon a shelf 28, or other support above the bed in which the patient lies.

The lower portion of the tube extends behind keepers 29 and 30 on the front of tho'pla 'e 13 and connects, as shown at 30,'with a sac or envelope 31, which is supported in a hanger 32 on the lower front portion of the plate 13.

'lhe sack or envelope has hollow walls between which the tube 23 delivers, asshown in Fig. 2 and the front portion of the sack or envelope is formed into a hood 33, which extends forward from the hole 14 in the plate 13 and is adapted to receive the penis. The body portion of the sack or envelope is-very much elongated and is adapted to extend back between the legs of the patient, the forward portion being widest so as to receive the testicles. An outlet tube or pipe 34, which is also flexible, and is incased by a wire spiral coil 35,1eads from the rear end of the each or envelope and is held in a block 37 on the back of the belt 10. The tube 84 is long enough to extend from a bed to an adjacent vessel in which it discharges. Thelower portion of described.

h the tube 34 and is delivered into the vessel 41. 1

Having thus described my invention, what- I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, la-

1. An apparatus o! the character described, comprising asack or envelope-having hollow walls and adapted to beapglied to the maleorgans. of generation, a tu connected with l the sack or envelope and with a source oi! cold opening and arran water supply, an outlet tube leading from the seek or enve ope, and means for automatically oferating thesaid supply tube by the disten- \t on 0.! the penis substantially as shown and 2. An apparatus of thejcharacterdescribed, comprising a waist belt, a hollow-walled sack or envelope suspended, from the belt and ada ted to embrace the male organs of generat on, a cold water supply tube connected with the sack, a device to control the snppl tube, and levers extending across the sac god to operate by the distention ot the penis and adapted to open the said controlling device,substantial lyasshown and described;

and

3. An apparatus of the character described, comprising a waist beige rforated plate suspended from the belt an ada ted to lie 0 upon the body of the wearer, a be low walled sack or envelope arranged at the lower end of r the plate and ada ted to embrace the male organs of generat on, a tube connected with the sack and with a, source of cold water sup- 5 Fly, levers tulcrumed on the plate and havng'their lowerends ex nding opposite the perforation. in the plate nd their upper ends provided with jaws which impinge on the supply tube, and an outlet for the sack, substan- 5o tially as shownand described.

4. An apparatus of the character described, comprisinga waist belt, a plate suspended ,s from the front of the belt and having a hole therein, a hollow walled sack or envelope sus- 5 5 nded from the late and belt, the sack hav-.

ng its front rt on formed into a hood held in front of t e hole in the plate and its rear rtion elongated, a tube connected with the V rout rtionot' the sack and with a source 5. of col water supply, swinging leversarranged with their lower portions opposite the plate hole, the levers having diverging upper ends, jaws carried by the upper ends of the lovers and held to normally clasp the the supply '6 tube, and an outlet tube leading from the rear 7 portion ofthesack' and held in a support on the back of the belt, substantially as shown and described. r
